Ali Sperry, 3:35pm
Since her 2017 release of "Crooked Feelings" Ali Sperry has been touring, writing, moving into a new house in Madison, TN, and most recently, getting hitched. Love is in the air and in this period of nesting in a new home and nurturing a new marriage, she delightedly released two new singles recently: "Louise" and "Tennessee Snow". Raised by musician parents in Fairfield Iowa, her childhood was tie-dyed in the music of the 60’s and 70’s: Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Simon & Garfunkel. Those folk roots nourish her sound, and intertwine with the daily inspirations and influences of the rich community of musicians in her Nashville life today. "Ali Sperry, a modest young singer/songwriter with a personality that comes over with sweet earnestness in such a competitive world, has an ambition. That goal is to reach listeners by creating lyrics and melodies, with effective production values, that will resonate with listeners in powerful but varied ways." -Ron Wray, No Depression
